An effortlessly cool wine bar and kitchen set inside a working railway arch warehouse, serving a chalkboard menu of inventive, seasonal small plates alongside excellent natural wines.
Ordering Strategy
There are no reservations, so arrive early to grab a spot at the bar or a shared table. The menu is on a blackboard and changes weekly; order 3-4 plates per person and ask the staff for natural wine pairings.
What to order
Seasonal Fritters
Consistently praised as a perfect starter, whether they appear as 'lacy leek tempura' served with piquant mushroom ketchup or 'deep-fried Ardrahan cheese' that spills across warm potatoes.
Glazed Yorkshire Ham
A legendary staple often found resting on the counter; critics rave about the quality of the meat and fat that looks like 'old piano-key ivory.'
Lemon and Prune Soufflé
A 'serious, grown-up' dessert featuring a 'bronzed surface' that gives way to a center described as 'ripe and lubricious.'
Smoked Eel Broth
An evocative dish with a liquor that is 'salt and sweet and smoke' and 'tastes as the sniffed air of a smokehouse smells.'
